In 106, after the Khumaak debate and subsequent Protest, AWEI set out to unify the Minmatar people against the actions of the Republic, who many saw as pandering to the Amarr Empire with their banning of traditions in exchange for a handful of freed slaves.

Ironically, the actions of AWEI and its CEO, Adrielle Firewalker only widened the rift between corporations such as Gradient and Oracle, by creating a divide of Separatist vs. Loyalist ideals. This eventually lead to the formation of The People's Republic of Minmatar by the pro-Matari organisation, The Peoples Front of Minmatar.

In November of 106, CONCORD sanctions allowed the forming of 'official' alliances, and AWEI formeed and was the executor corporation of the Ushra'Khan alliance for six months, prior to the corporation's official disbanding in mid-107.

The majority of AWEI's core membership joined Camar's new corporation, Stormriders, to continue bringing the fight to the slavers. A few followed Adrielle into her new corporation, Minmatarts.

Present Day

In mid-111, the corporation was reinstated continuing with its original goal of producing ships, equipment and ammunition for the fight against slavery. This time incorporating blueprint assets from Wasteland Miners which had recently folded due to internal politics.

AWEI offers substantial discounts on its products to any individual, corporation, or alliance that aids in the Minmatar cause, irrespective of their political alignment.
